The Kuika platform allows you to quickly test the web applications you’ve developed. This feature enables you to effectively test your application’s front-end and back-end components.
What Is a Run and How Does It Work?
During each Run, the front-end and back-end sections of your application are rebuilt.
During the first Run, the infrastructure is set up. This process may take a few minutes.
The test environment created by a Run remains active for 72 hours. This time resets with each new Run.
Steps for Testing a Web Application
Starting a Test Using the Run Button
Open the project you want to work on from the Apps screen.
Click the three dots next to the Preview button in the upper-right corner of the screen.
In the Generate App panel that opens, go to the Preview tab.
Click the Run button. Your application opens in a new browser tab.
The Publish tab in the Generate App panel is used to publish your app for the Web, Android, or iOS and to retrieve the source code. If you only want to test your app, using the Preview tab is sufficient.
Points to Note
Limitations during preview: While a Run session is in progress, the Run, Run Settings, and Update buttons on the Run Settings screen are disabled.
Changes in the Designer environment: Page refreshes, project changes, or logging in and out do not affect the Preview tab. However, session management is supported.
Updating Default Run Settings
Click the three dots next to the Preview button.
In the Generate App panel, go to the Preview tab and click the gear (settings) icon.
In the Run Settings screen that opens, select the setting you want to edit from the left menu. Settings are grouped under headings such as WEB APP, IDENTITY & ACCESS, STORAGE & SEARCH, INTEGRATIONS, and MOBILE. You can also update the application’s Title and Favicon information in the right panel.
After making the necessary changes, click the Update button in the upper-right corner.
By following these steps, you can easily test your web app and speed up your development process.
